How Deer Antler Mounting Kits Work

Different deer antler mounting kits work in different ways, which is why it's important to carefully read the instructions on how to use them. Most, though, work with the same basic principle -- You drill holes into the prepared antlers and connect them to the provided plaque (usually by screws), followed by covering the base with the velvet-covered skull cap. Some mounting kits come with paper mache to help fill in the space around the skull cap. Once you're done, hang it up on your wall and you now have a perfect way to show off your trophy antlers. Sorry if you were expecting more than that, but that's basically it!

Deer Antler Mounting Tips

Make sure you've removed all the debris and excess tissue from the antlers and skull plate. You can do this by boiling the antlers in a large pot of water with a small bit of salt added for a couple minutes and letting them dry. This will also kill any dangerous bacteria that could be lurking on them. Be warned though, boiling antlers indoors can produce an unpleasant smell. After the antlers have dried, you can use a wire brush to help remove debris and sandpaper to smooth them the tips out a bit. You can learn more about cleaning deer antlers here.

You don't want to look at your antler mount and see crooked antlers hanging on the wall. Align the antlers up so they are as level as possible. If judging with your eyes isn't good enough, a laser level can help you do this. Remember, there's no easy way to adjust the antlers after they're mounted, so make sure they're even before securing them.

Some people use a small amount of peroxide or bleach to whiten and sterilize the antlers. It's safe, effective, and bottles of hydrogen peroxide only cost about $1 buck a piece.

Use a hacksaw to trim the skull plate to fit properly if needed.
